So I started to install windows 7 on my '08 iMac and like a dumbass I didn't realize I didn't have the osx cd because I bought it used. I have not way of getting a cd. Now I'm stuck in windows with no sound and don't know if I can reverse this? Please help!

Try holding the option key after rebooting and you show see an option to boot into Windows or OSX.

Since you were doing a bootcamp install, you should be able to boot into MAC OS X and then open boot camp assistant again. There should be an option to delete the boot camp partition.

Sorry been crazy at work. I've tried countless time doing that, but I don't think the Bluetooth keyboard works cause no bluetooth drivers installed. I plugged in a cheapo windows keyboard via USB but no luck. Tried a bunch of different buttons too since no option button. Any ideas from here?

As I mentioned in another post with a similiar situation, I'm sure certain websites will offer the driver package if not the whole installation disc of OSX, that once downloaded could easily be burnt to a disc.
